Tree drawing software for Apple Macintosh and Windows
(and now Linux and Unix)
TreeView is a simple program for displaying phylogenies on Apple Macintosh and Windows PCs. It has the following features:
- runs on both the Apple Macintosh and Windows Pcs, using almost identical interfaces
- reads many different tree file formats (including NEXUS, PHYLIP, Hennig86, NONA, MEGA, and ClustalW/X)
- supports standard the TrueType and Postscript fonts available on Macs and PCs
- supports native graphics file format (PICT on Macintosh, Windows metafile on Windows) for copying pictures into other applications, and for saving graphics files
- print preview
- can print multiple trees per page, and one tree over more than one page
- has drag-and-drop facility for easy opeing of files
- Web-based online help
- tree editor
TreeView provides a simple way to view the contents of a NEXUS, PHYLIP, Hennig86, Clustal, or other format tree file. While PAUP and MacClade have excellent tree printing facilities, there may be times you just want to view the trees without having to load the data set they were generated from. The PHYLIP package contains tree drawing programs which offer a greater variety of trees than TreeView, but are somewhat clumsy to use. The forthcoming PAUP* for Windows does not have a graphical interface, hence TreeView allows you to create publication quality trees from PAUP files, either directly, or by generating graphics files for editing by other programs.
The program currently reads trees with up to to 1000 taxa.
